A Touch of Serenity

Flutists Flora Lim and Leslie Huggett have been applauded for their remarkable ability to connect with audiences of all ages and backgrounds using their signature blend of musical artistry, charm and spontaneity. Now, they have produced a timeless album which offers an eclectic range of styles from traditional folk songs, to the world of opera, to the cinema - all masterfully arranged for them by Andrew Huggett. Combining forces with Ensemble Chiaroscuro, they have striven for ever-increasing nuances in giving voice to all that it means to be human. Performances imbued with flair, sensitivity and fearlessness characterise this heartachingly beautiful recording.

This is music to melt an ice man's heart.

Each album is also accompanied by a lavishly-produced limited edition, full-colour CD booklet with souvenir photographs and essays.

Kudos for A Touch of Serenity:

"Spell-binding... a first-rate musical production."
Sir George Martin, C.B.E.
Beatles producer

"It is a long time since I have gained so much pleasure from a recording. Every aspect of its production is faultless. The choice of music is irresistible and the arrangements are insightful and beautifully crafted. The two flutes play as one – the phrasing, the dynamics, the fearless nuances all effortlessly performed as two feathers floating on the evening breeze. If this isn't inspiring, I don't know what is.
The photographic booklet and commentary give a wonderful sense of a special occasion. Such a combination of humanity, love and unity is rare these days. If I were on a desert island, this would be my most treasured possession... I am ordering 10 more copies of A Touch of Serenity as presents for my Concertgebouw colleagues and friends!”
Brian Pollard F.R.C.M. (London UK)
Principal woodwind with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra (1953 - 1996)

Trevor Pinnock C.B.E., F.R.C.M., Hon. F.R.A.M. (London, UK)
